What we do

Y Care International works in partnership with YMCAs to support projects in Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Middle East that empower young people and their communities to find alternatives to a future of poverty and disadvantage. We also work through local YMCAs and other partners to respond to emergencies and natural disasters. In the UK and Ireland, we work with young people in the YMCA movement to raise awareness of and interest in international issues
